I proposed for deletion as an IP address; it was rejected by User:Atlantic306 on the basis that Rob Dobrenski is notable as an author. However, despite the numerous sources there is no assertion of notability in any of them.

  1. Reference 1 - a listing on a database website; no assertion of notability
  2. Reference 2 - primary source, the subject's own blog/website
  3. Reference 3 - Same as reference 1
  4. Reference 4 - deadlink
  5. Reference 5 - deadlink (same website as Ref 4)
  6. Reference 6 - primary source, the subject's own blog/website
  7. Reference 7 - deadlink (same website as Refs 4 and 5)
  8. Reference 8 - a list of physicians employed by a company; no assertion of notability
  9. Reference 9 - primary source, the subject's own blog/website
  10. Reference 10 - deadlink (same website as Refs 4, 5, 7)
  11. Reference 11 - deadlink, dunceuponatime was associated with Dobrenski's shrinktalk.net
  12. Reference 12 - deadlink, philalawyer was associated with Dobrenski's shrinktalk.net
  13. Reference 13 - Review of Dobrenski's book - I don't know if Kirkus Reviews is considered a reliable source, but if this one article justifies a Wikipedia article, it would justify one about the book being reviewed rather than the author. It provides no material about Dobrenski himself.
  14. Reference 14 - primary source, blogtalkradio - the subject's own podcast and defunct for years
  15. Reference 15 - deadlink (same as Ref 11)
  16. Reference 16 - a link to a different podcast by the subject; no assertion of notability
  17. Reference 17 - Although Time magazine is notable, Dobrenski was quoted in one paragraph - this does not constitute "significant coverage" per WP:GNG
  18. Reference 18 - deadlink, CNN may be notable but the article is neither extant [1] nor archived
  19. Reference 19 - primary source, the subject's own blog/website

Rob Dobrenski does not appear to meet our notability guidelines for either authors or academics. Seth Kellerman (talk) 01:12, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I agree with nom, the sources are not reliable, and the article looks like a paid editing puff piece by someone who's first edit was to edit their user page. Regardless, all the padded references do not add up to passing WP:GNG. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:28, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete after more consideration as the sources are not sufficient for WP:GNG although Kirkus reviews is reliable and a book article may possibly be notable. Atlantic306 (talk) 14:45, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the references do not pass GNG at this time. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 06:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
